Hospital Participating In Preeclampsia Study

March 30, 1992

The University of Chicago Medical Center is participating in a study to determine if daily doses of baby aspirin can prevent preeclampsia, one of the major causes of prematurity and even maternal death during pregnancy.

Preeclampsia (toxemia) is a disease which occurs only during pregnancy. The disease is characterized by elevated blood pressure, swelling and protein in the urine.

Interested individuals should call Phyllis Jones at 312-702-7234 for more information or to participate in the study.
